Both teams probably wish Week 1 didn't happen. The Baltimore Ravens may have won convincingly over the Houston Texans 25-9, but it came at a serious cost. Raven's star running back J.K. Dobbins had to exit the game early with what turned out to be a season-ending Achilles tendon injury. They will now need to piece together a rushing attack using running backs Justice Hill, Gus Edwards and Melvin Gordon III.
Luckily for the Ravens, they may not need to be as reliant on the run game as they have in years past. Rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers had a coming-out party in Week 1, putting up 78 yards on 9 receptions and 10 targets. He was Jackson's preferred target by a wide margin and appears to be well worth the first-round pick the Ravens spent to get him. Plus, star tight end Mark Andrews could return from injury this week, giving the passing attack plenty of options.
The Cincinnati Bengals on the other hand will be hoping for a case of collective amnesia after their Week 1 24-3 loss against Ohio-rivals Cleveland Browns. The Bengals were absolutely embarrassed, with only the New York Giants preventing them from being the worst offense in Week 1. Star quarterback Joe Burrow managed just 82 yards passing and wide receiver Tee Higgins failed to bring in any of his eight targets. By the end of the game, the Bengals even brought in backup Jake Browning to avoid Burrow picking up a pointless injury.
Despite this, the Bengals may actually be able to forget this loss — or at least, maybe Burrow can. In his three Week 1 performances prior to this season, Burrow has gone 1-2, producing more turnovers than touchdowns (three combined TDs to five interceptions and a lost fumble). In those three games, he produced a passer rating of 85.5, well below his career average of 98.6.
So maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that the Bengals Week 1 embarrassment hasn't scared off bettors. DraftKings has the Bengals as a 3.5-point home favorite with an over-under of 46.5 points.
